Hydro Extruded Solutions is a manufacturer of extruded aluminium profiles. Hydro has the largest global aluminium extrusion-based operation in the world, counting 100 production sites in more than 40 countries, and has 22,400 employees.[1] Hydro's head office is located in Oslo, Norway. In 2015, it was debarred and excluded from all contracting with the US Federal Government in response to a 19 year scheme to falsify material testing and certification records, which directly resulted in the loss of two NASA satellites, totaling more than $700 million USD.[2]
